Unmatched media browsing experience

CoverFlow now comes with an enhanced flow logic mechanism, providing significantly more fluid animation. Taking advantage of Silverlight 3’s new layout architecture, you – and your users – will marvel at its amazing animation.

Powerful VirtualFlow™ mechanism

Intersoft’s unique VirtualFlow™ technology enables you to display nearly any number of covers with no performance degradation. You can load hundreds, even thousands of images without excessive memory consumption. Powered by Intersoft’s advanced Load On Demand technology, with VirtualFlow pictures are retrieved asynchronously as needed and released as they become unnecessary. VirtualFlow™ is especially useful in very demanding applications that require high scalability, such as image and video centered knowledge bases.

Slideshow and easy navigation

CoverFlow supports both automatic slideshow and user navigation modes, allowing you to easily build richly interactive multimedia web applications. CoverFlow has a set of defaults so comprehensive that in most cases you can create your media show by simply assigning the datasource to the CoverFlow control.

Varied view modes

In addition to the usual default perspective mode, CoverFlow supports a scale mode. In perspective mode, covers display at a specified perspective angle. However, in Intersoft’s innovative scale mode, covers are arranged backward on Z-depth to create elegant visual effects. Several properties allow you to configure this richly interactive viewing style.

Video playback mode

CoverFlow doesn’t simply dynamically display images, it also showcases videos like no application you’ve seen. With full support for all Silverlight-compliant video formats such as WMV, VC-1 and MP3, items detected as video type will automatically launch the video player inside the cover’s boundary. Known as “In line video playing”, this feature allows you to quickly preview a video without having to leave the current screen area. CoverFlow also supports full screen playback and two video download modes: video buffering and video downloading.

Multiple focus mode

Along with the standard single focused item mode, CoverFlow supports a multiple focused item mode, allowing you to set the desired number of focused items (the default is three). An additional enhancement allows you to set the border as well.

Full screen mode

In Full Screen mode, you can maximize the viewing experience by using the entire screen. With a single mouse click, users can instantly switch between the default and Full Screen views.
